Examining the feasibility of providing diagnostic services via in-home visits to enhance recruitment and retention.

The clinical research industry is facing significant challenges in ensuring that participants have timely and convenient access to necessary trial support services associated with clinical trials. One of the primary pain points is the operational feasibility of patient-centric sample collection, which aims to provide diagnostic services at or near the participant’s home. Solutions to this challenge can be hindered by logistical complexities, regulatory hurdles and the need for seamless integration with existing healthcare systems. Additionally, ensuring that patients can access trial services from the comfort of their homes remains a critical concern, especially in the context of participant recruitment and retention.

During this webinar, the featured speakers will delve into the core aspects of patient accessibility, focusing on strategies to ensure that patients and their caregivers can participate in clinical trials and receive trial services without leaving their homes or places of work. They will explore innovative delivery models that facilitate the direct-to/from-patient (DxP) approach, ensuring that supplies, samples and services are efficiently delivered to and from patients. This segment will highlight the importance of developing robust logistics systems that can support the unique needs of decentralized trials.

Furthermore, the speakers will discuss the integration of supplementary home visit services and connected devices to monitor patients remotely. This includes leveraging remote services to provide continuous care and support, as well as utilizing connected devices to gather real-time data on patient health. Incorporating these nursing services and technologies aims to enhance patient engagement, improve data accuracy and ultimately ensure better health outcomes.
